| Summary | "The Two Wives; Or, Lost and Won" by T. S. Arthur is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the struggles of Mr. Wilkinson, a husband caught between the desires of pursuing social pleasures and the responsibilities of a loving home, represented by his devoted wife, Mary. The novel intends to highlight the powerful impact of selfless love and the consequences of neglecting that love within a marriage. At the start of the narrative, we meet Mr. Wilkinson and Mrs. Wilkinson in their home, where Mary attempts to dissuade her husband from going out, revealing the emotional strain in their relationship. After a brief conversation marked by Wilkinson's vacillation, he leaves to meet a friend, despite the anxiety of his wife and their sick child at home. This decision sets off a chain of events wherein Wilkinson finds himself increasingly drawn into the world of drinking and social distractions, ultimately leading to the neglect of his family and several troubling encounters that could have dire consequences for their happiness. This opening portion establishes a clear framework for the themes of love, temptation, and the struggle for self-improvement that permeate the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
